What is "emo"?

What is "emo"?

by suicideFox on 07-21-2008 2:12 am

Quite the questionable topic.
When you think about it, how many things are "emo", truly?
Is anything emo?
Is it a figment of our imaginations?
Is it an excuse for insecure tweens to try and fit-in to a world of fakes?

"lol im so emo imma cut myself now lol" - poser. Not emo. But what the hell IS emo?

To consider myself "emo", as it portrays itself to me, personally, I would be calling myself a sub-genre of music.
Emily- a sub-genre of music born from punk and indie music.
Or is it..
Emily- a steriotyped kid who cuts herself for attention, whines a lot, thinks everyone hates her, etc.?
Or perhaps,
Emily- a girl who must have serious problems simply based on the fact that she chooses to dress in typical emo/scene attire.

After thinking of those three, or four, including the poser bit mentioned above, I am not "emo". In any sense of the word.

But, who amongst us.. is?

Wrong.

'tween :
1. contraction of between.
–noun
2. Also, tween, tweeny. a youngster between 10 and 12 years of age, considered too old to be a child and too young to be a teenager.

A tween is a pre-teen, I guess.

As in, between little kid and teenager. Ages 11-12?

I'm not all that sure, really. Shocked


EDIT: Not fair, Kittens. Not fair. I wanted to post first.
The amount of annoying idiots in the world seems to be increasing.
Take time out of your day to reduce the number of annoying idiots in the world.

We have many of these, please refer to this thread:

It is suggested you read the first post, then all the other posts in that thread.
Once a time ago
A God became mortal

This mortal God became tainted

And eventually out of shame

For becoming that of which is hated

This God died, to renew the cycle again.
I'm sorry my friend, I have betrayed you.
I have set upon you the wrath of those that hate me.
I should've stayed your friend.
